About This Cause
The Eritrean Community Center of Greater Boston (ECC-Boston) was founded in 1983. The organization is one of the first grassroots Eritrean community development corporations founded and operated by Eritrean refugees and immigrants in the U.S. In its first year of operation, ECC-Boston leased space in the Margaret Fuller House (Cambridge, MA) where it stayed till 1995. Between 1995 and 2000 it was housed in another leased space in the Somerville Corporation building (1 Summer Street, Somerville, MA). In 2001, ECC-Boston purchased its current home at 590 Shawmut Avenue, Boston, MA. To accurately reflect its membership base and the civic activities it promotes, ECC later renamed itself to Eritrean American Civic Association (EACA). The Eritrean community in Greater Boston has grown significantly over the last three decades in numbers as well as in its critical needs. EACA-Boston aims to help alleviate some of the problems faced by Eritreans in the Boston area by bridging the cultural and linguistic barriers and by helping its members integrate and contribute their share in the society. It provides a forum for members to organize and work together to find solutions to the challenges that its members are facing in the US, while addressing issues affecting their country of origin.
